The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First off, it’s a bit of a slow start for Jaconé. The water temperature is sitting right around 72°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprise there.
We kick things off on the morning of the 21st and the 22nd with some small, weak E swell at 3ft and a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off, so the surface is clean, but the energy is low (85). It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
The 23rd is a write-off. Strong onshore winds from the SW and W will chop it right up.
Friday the 24th morning brings a glimmer of hope. That early glassy session with a shift to a 2ft SSW groundswell at 11 seconds and no wind is a nice window. The combined energy picks up to 190, but it’s still small. The afternoon gets messy as the wind swings onshore and the swell builds to 5ft, but the quality drops.
Now, the real standout is the Saturday the 25th. That’s your pick of the first week. We’ve got a clean 5ft S swell, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. The wind is light cross-off in the morning, going to a light offshore in the afternoon. Energy is moderate (345-393). It’s not a monster, but it’s clean, fun, and consistent. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Sunday the 26th is a no-go with strong onshore winds.
The following week gets interesting. Tuesday the 28th morning is a good call. A 2ft S groundswell with a 12-second period is pushing in under a clean offshore NE breeze. Energy is moderate (271). It’s small but clean.
Then we have a lull from the 29th through the 31st with very small, weak waves.
But the real promise is for the first weekend of August. Saturday the 1st morning is looking good: 4ft of S swell at 10 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind. Clean and fun. Then Sunday the 2nd morning is the absolute standout of the whole 16-day run. Expect 4ft of S groundswell with a 12-second period, and a nice moderate offshore wind from the NE. That combined energy is a solid 545, which is strong. The waves will be clean, well-shaped, and have some punch. This is the one to circle on the calendar. After that, Monday the 3rd morning still has some clean 3ft SSE swell, and Wednesday the 5th morning has a tiny 2ft S swell with a very long 16-second period, which will be super clean but small, best for a longboard.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
